STEVE Hansen today insisted there will be no player tantrums and sulks throughout what will be at least a five-week long World Cup tour.

So many rugby expeditions have been blighted by over-inflated egos and gripes from the ranks about selection, with the British Lions sojourn Down Under two years ago the latest and most glaring example.

But Hansen says he does not expect any fits of pique, long faces or cliques to develop, even though the necessity to win the opening three matches could mean limited action for some members of the squad.

"We have not experienced any of that sort of thing on any of the tours we have been on before and I don't expect it this time," said the Wales coach.

"The way to avoid all that, is to make sure that win, lose or draw, we are honest and up front with people.

"We have a 30-strong squad and it is going to be a 30-man effort on the field and a 42-strong group effort overall.

"We are going to need that to be successful.

"Some people's work will be unseen and they won't get the credit they deserve.

"But within the group we will know what they have done which is the main thing.

"As far as performance on the pitch goes, we will not get what we want unless the players who may not have been selected for a particular match don't help on the training ground."

The Wales squad go through their final training session on Sunday morning before beginning their journey later that day.

Certainly in fitness terms, there is little more that can be done.

Skill levels have been worked on too, so crucial after the shambling display against England a few weeks ago, and even tactical foundations laid.

Hansen stopped short of saying his team would be ready, if the World Cup started tomorrow.

But the Kiwi emphasised that how his troops use their time between now and the first game will be vital.

"We have to ensure that we use every day wisely," he said.

"We have a long plane trip in front of us, that much we know, and I suppose there is only so much preparation we can do from here on in.

"It will be fine-tuning really, but we have to adopt a smart approach.

"As far as the skill levels are concerned, we believe they have improved because that is what we have been emphasising.

"We have done a lot of ball work in the last couple of weeks.

"It's the type of thing we need to do if we are going to play a multi-skilled game."
